"Erin enjoys dancing, and her favorite dance is the Lindy Hop". Among the statements presented as the choices above, statement from letter "A" is the best way to combine the two statements. In combining statements to produce a meaningful and gramatically correct statement, it is very necessary to place the right punctuations in the right place. The placement of punctuations such as commas, colons, semi-colons and others can actually affect and change the previous meaning of the statements, the same that intonation changes the meaning of the words.

The best way to combine the two statements is option A: "Erin enjoys dancing, and her favorite dance is the Lindy Hop." This is correct because it uses a coordinating conjunction to connect two independent clauses. The other options either contain grammatical errors or do not properly connect the ideas.
